Doppelganger

Introduction

The term Doppelganger (doppelgänger, sometimes spelled doppelgaenger or doppelganger) originates from German folklore and refers to a lookalike or double of a living person. Often associated with omens or supernatural phenomena, doppelgangers have become a recurring theme in fiction, symbolizing identity, duality, or deception. In literature, video games, and other media, doppelgangers are frequently portrayed as physical copies or dark reflections of characters, sometimes created through magic, cloning, or other means.

This concept has been adapted in various ways, with doppelgangers appearing as allies, enemies, or mysterious entities tied to the characters they resemble.
